XV

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, —
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do
If bees are few.

XVI The Wind

It’s like the light, —
  A fashionless delight
It’s like the bee, —
  A dateless melody.

It’s like the woods,
  Private like breeze,
Phraseless, yet it stirs
  The proudest trees.

It’s like the morning, —
  Best when it’s done, —
The everlasting clocks
  Chime noon.
